§ 21. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government on the future of the Cameroons in view of the recent discussions at the United Nations Fourth Committee.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydHer Majesty's Government's policy continues to be to administer the British Cameroons in accordance with the terms of the Trusteeship Agreement.
§ Mr. BrockwayIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that that does not answer my Question? Would he be ready to urge that the problem of the Cameroons should be decided by plebiscite under the United Nations in which there should be the alternatives of unity, independence, association with the French Union or with Nigeria, as was done in the case of British Togoland?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydCertainly not. I made it quite clear recently that, in my view, certain resolutions of the General Assembly relating to colonial problems were utterly unrealistic and unhelpful.
